Swaps have traditionally been used by derivative traders and treasury management professionals to hedge risks that relate to interest rates, currencies and other asset or securities price fluctuations.
In recent times, the use of swaps, especially credit default swaps (CDS), to make large speculative bets on changes in the expected direction of prices of underlying assets and securities, or as a stalking tool for the hostile takeovers of public traded companies, have been brought to the forefront due to the depth of economic destruction that these derivatives have caused to companies and the financial system at large.
Swaps could be used actively, to speculate, not just passively to hedge … financial engineers, with creative, even far-fetched assumptions created swaps, that, I believe, jeopardized the health of system-critical financial institutions – David H. Wang, Economist
